🟣 Dear Santa
Define Good đź‘€
It seems that every personal trainer and their cat is telling you how to eat over Christmas
So, being one of them, I thought I’d drop some thoughts that might be useful as you navigate the holiday season
Progress can look different for different people, do what’s right for you.
For some people progress is saying “no” to Christmas treats as it means they’re establishing balance with their nutrition
For others, progress is saying “yes” to the Christmas treats as it means they’re establishing balance with their nutrition
Fuck the scale
For the love of all that is hold - DO NOT weigh yourself on December 27th to “assess the damage”
You won’t have excreted your festive cheer your of your butthole yet
You will be holding onto more water from the increased carb + salt consumption
And this weight reading will be about as useful as a crocheted condom
Save the stress and just don’t bloody weigh
What you do between NYE + Christmas > What your do between Christmas + NYE
Just like one hot day doesn’t make it summer
Or like one salad never made you lean
One day of consuming more food won’t fuck your progress
Progress, in either direction, takes time
And it’s what you do on AVERAGE that shapes your results
Food is more than “fuel”
Food is social connection
Food is tradition
Food is joyful fucking memories made
And if your diet’s food rules don’t allow any deviation for life or fun,
It’s time to try a different fucking diet
And if you’re wanting to round off 2025 and head into 2026 with a fitness regime that helps you build a life you feel fucking fabulous living
Feeling a sassy fuck with your arms out in your sqanky clothes
Feeling boss walking onto the gym floor with a plan
Having a diet that helps you see change without feeling like you’re in emotional jail
